EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Women drawing water from the moresca fountain of Ravello, Italy" transports us back to the enchanting streets of 19th-century Ravello. Taken around 1890, this snapshot captures a scene that dates back even further to the XVIII century. Set against a picturesque backdrop of rolling hillsides and lush vegetation, the image showcases an exquisite piece of hydraulic architecture - the moresca fountain. This urban treasure stands proudly in a bustling square or piazza, serving as both a functional fixture for housework and an artistic sculpture. In this lively street scene, we witness women gracefully engaged in their daily chores. With focused determination etched on their faces, they draw water from the ornate fountain using traditional methods. Their presence adds life and authenticity to this historic moment frozen in time. The composition skillfully incorporates elements of nature with its inclusion of trees and vibrant vegetation surrounding the square. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural beauty creates a harmonious balance that is characteristic of Italian landscapes. Brogi's masterful photography effortlessly captures not only architectural details but also human action within its frame. Through his lens, he immortalizes this glimpse into everyday life during an era long gone by. As we admire this remarkable artwork by Brogi from Alinari, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not just historical significance but also evokes emotions tied to work and vocation. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with our surroundings while reminding us of simpler times when fountains like these were essential gathering spots for communities.
